Hi I'm Mark Hughes, guitar teacher.
I'm a professional musician with over 30 years' playing and performing experience.
After completing a Certificate in Music Performance at Box Hill Institute, I've since gone on to play at most major live music venues in Melbourne as well as at the Frankston Guitar Festival, and I've supported iconic Aussie artists Mark Seymour, Ross Wilson and Daryl Braithwaite along the way.
I've worked with some of Australia's top musicians including members of jazz legend Vince Jones' band, and I've had repeated airplay of my own original songs on Network 10. I draw on all of this experience in my lessons, giving my students a solid, practical way to start playing the guitar, or for students who've already been playing for a while, a way to join the dots with their existing knowledge.
I charge $40 per 30 mins or $70 per 1 hour. I am passionate about sharing my knowledge with my students, and helping them to discover their own innate and unique talent.
A point of difference with my method to other guitar teachers is after every lesson I film a short video with the main points of the lesson covered, which I then upload and share with the student to watch and study like a personalised YouTube guitar lesson. I do this at no extra cost to the student.
I teach at my studio here in Thornbury as well as online via Zoom or FaceTime for students further away or during lockdown periods. Lessons can be on a regular or semi-regular basis.
I'm flexible and happy to accommodate every student's schedule.
Please feel free to get in touch to see how I can help you with your guitar playing goals!
TESTIMONIALS
"Our 8 yr old son started his guitar journey with Mark 18 months ago. Mark’s enthusiasm, patience and methodical approach to teaching have enabled Mike to make terrific progress. Mark shows great willingness to work on songs that Mike likes, and to then use them to work on strategies for improving his technique. Mark’s commitment is extraordinary, going above and beyond to help Mike, for example producing a video summary at the end of each lesson that we can refer to over the week to cement the key elements of each lesson. Mark is so nice and encouraging Mike really looks forward to his sessions. We would highly recommend Mark to all budding guitarists!”
- Pete, father of Mikey
"I have been a student of Mark for a few months now. He is a very thorough, patient teacher, who is very competent in his craft. His skill as a teacher is best demonstrated in his ability to make complex techniques simpler and easy to digest. Furthermore, he is passionate in what he does and keeps himself actively involved in live performances. I highly recommend Mark for anyone who is a beginner or a seasoned player that requires further improvements."
- Lakshan
"Mark has been tutoring our daughter for well over a year now and the advancement in her guitar playing is quite apparent when we hear her playing at home. The option of moving to an online teaching model during COVID also meant she wasn't held back in any way. Thanks Mark!"
-Trem, father of Danika
"Mark is a fantastic guitar teacher. I've been getting lessons for over a year now and I'd recommend him to anyone. I was relatively new to guitar playing when I started lessons with Mark. His patient, relaxed approach really helped me to improve my playing quickly. During lockdown Mark's weekly zoom lessons were really something to look forward to. Not to mention, the videos he would make and send after a lesson meant I could have a lesson with Mark whenever I liked! Whether you're young or older like me, Mark's able to help you explore the wonderful world of guitar, because he loves teaching."
